[PATCH] Check all .c files for bad kernel-doc comments

From: Matthew Wilcox
Date: Fri Oct 27 2017 - 15:42:08 EST


From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Implement a '-none' output mode for kernel-doc which will only output
warning messages, and suppresses the warning message about there being
no kernel-doc in the file. Add it to the rule to build .o files from .c
files, so it will check all .c files that have been modified.

Adds about 1300 warnings to my build, but will hopefully discourage
people from introducing more kerneldoc mistakes.
